THE bell on the Catholic church

THE bell on the Catholic church
/ at Berkeley Springs has been taken
| Down TO be replaced by a larger
one. There is an interesting history
connected with this bell Rumor mas
/ il THAT 1t has passed through ship
wreck and fire. The bell bears the in.
scripiion "Fait Par. Jean Bazin
Auanter l776." For many years the
bell was used on the Catholic church in
Martinshurg, and after the late war
was taken to Berkeley Springs, where
it has been in service ever since. Reg

WHAT WE DON'T LIKE.-We don't
like to have man take paper from
one to two years without paying for it,
and then refuse to take it out Of the of-
6ce TO which it is addressed, without so
much as saying, thank you, or ia, Ia, on
leaving for parts unknown. We dislike
to receive an official card from any of
Uncle Sans Postmaster Geuerars dep
uties, informing us as follows:
Sir Pursuant to instructions from
the Postmaster General, beg leave to
inform you that your paper addressed to
P.S. is not taken out but remains
dead in this oflice. You will please dis.
continue the same. GO, p. M.
Reason; HAS gone away" Ere
fused" "Don't want it any longer"
with many other reasons assigned by
such dead-beats.
We think that when paper is ire
fused" the postmaster's instructions
ought to require him to inquire Of the
party refusing the paper whether or not
the paper had been paid for and il not
paid for, to inform the party so "refus,
ing", that he was bound for 1t, until he
paid for it and obtained receipt, at
which time he could, himself, order his
discontinuance. A man who will do
thing like that, his neighbofs ought to
watch when in the neighborhood Of
their hen roosts, and his name listed
and hung up in the post Office in the
sight OF all honest men, and warning
to those who may be disposed to act tho
rascal.
This is the lowest and most contempt
ible type of humanity yet developed. -

King Leopold's Daughters.

Brussels Letter to the Chicago Times
I have it on the best authority that the recent
visit of the King of the Belgians to the Prince
and Princess of Wales had something to do
with the project of his daughter Clementine's
marriage with Prince Albert Victor. We-in-
formed persons, however, assure me that such a
union is practically impossible unless Leopold s
daughter abjures her religious belief and be-
comes a Protestant. AS Albert Victor is looked
on as a future King of England it is out of the
question that his Queen could be a Roman
Catholic. The well-known sentiments of his
grandmother, as well as those of her subjects
in that regard, confirm the accuracy of such a
view of the case. Leopold had somehow or
other got it into his head that
he will be able to persuade Leo XIII to allow
Princess Clementine by special dispensation to
embrace her future-or supposed future-hrs-
bands faith, but such an idea is as absurd as it
is utterly impracticable, for there is no record
of any such dispensation in Catholic eccesiasti-
cal history, and no pontiff could permit on any
account any of his spiritual children TO renounce
the Church of Rome for Lutheranism or any
other reli .gion Ii is said that the Belgian King
threatens, if the dispensation is not secured to
act just as If 1t was not absolutely necessary In
other words, his ma esty will have his daughter
a Lutheran in order that in due time he may be-
come the father-in of the Emperors of Aus
tria and India-an ambition which is certainly
from other points of view very commendable
in itself. His daughter Stephanie will, if she
lives, be Empress of Austria, while his daughter
Clementine, as Albert Victor's spouse NAV EN-.
terrain reasonable hopes of being Queen Of the
British juggeinaut on the banks of the Gauges
Does not Leopold look very far aheadg

Private Secretaries.
E,.n,, fba Ton<y,a., IJyo..T~y

An interesting and memorable passage in
"Endymion" records Lord Beaconsield's esti-
mate of the relations that ought to subsist be-
tween minister and his private secretary. In
his Judgment they are among the finest and
most sacred by which two persons of the same
sex can be united together; and he does NOT hes
itate to assert that except the married state there
is none wherein greater degree of confidence
and sympathy is involved than in that which
they necessitate and imply. 1t may be conceded
that on this subject Lord Beaconsfield spoke
with an authority which was the result of a
long, varied and fortunate experience IL is
probable that no minister was ever under larger
obligations to his private secretaries and it Is
certain that no minister has ever recognized the
fidelity of his private secretaries with more
ample generosity. Lord Rowton, indeed will
always be remembered as the Benjamin Of the
lllustrious Benjamin, with whose later fortunes
he has so conspicuously connected, and as par
excellence Lord Beaconsfleld's private secre-
tary. But the domestic services which he rem
dered TO Lord Beaconsheld in his declining years
should not be permitted entirely to secure the
far more important political services which
were rendered to MIR. Disraeli by Mr. Earle dur
ing the whole of the most critical period of his
career as a Parliamentary leader.

ton Globe tells how the editor of Judge, Mr..
Arkell, made money on Oscar Wilde, the

Wilde was in this country Mr.. Arkell asked
him what he would charge to go to Mount
McGregor and to pretend to be the recipi-
ent OF complimentary breakfast Oscar
asked 5000 Arkell paid it, and invited
eighty Saratoga visitors TO meet him. Then
he ran frequent trains up to the mountain
hotel. Thousands made the trip to see
Wilde eat Wilde was then paid $50 for
telegraphing a regret to an invitation in

himself to leave the trees on Mount Nc
Gregor. Arkell cleared about 81, 900 on the
job. Arlsell declined to tell how much he ex-
pended to secure the keeping of Grants
body at Mount McGregor week after his
death, and also how much he cleared on
the extra trains he ran, but the multitude
was great and the profits must have been
enormous.

For sometime past Camden, N. j., has
been the theatre of numerous sensational
marriages Runaway couples from other
cities go there and prominent ministers
marry them. In some cases it is said that
the law has been violated Rev. Madison
c. Peters, pastor of a Philadelphia Presby-
terrain church, severely criticised Rev.
Isaac W. Bagley, Rev. ]. J. Sleeper and
Rev. John Y. Dobbins, of Camden, for
marrying couples that ran away from the
former city. Much incensed, Rev. Bagley
threatened to whip Rev. Peters on sight.
The latter replied to the threat, informing
Rev. Bagley that two could take hand in
the whipping business. 1t is said that
reputable citizens Of Camden intend to take
steps to punish the ministers that have
violated the law.

Having been requested to contribute to
the fund for the proposed celebration of
Queen Victoria's jubilee in New York, Mr..
Andrew Carnegie writes a very sensible let
ter declining to do SO. He says that as an
American citizen he rejects the monarchical
idea as inconsistent with and insulting to
his manhood. He cannot see what natural
lied Americans have to do with celebrating
the reign of any monarch. He thinks that
even aliens who are indebted to this country
for hospitality should have too much
good taste to parade their preference
for political institutions vitality opposed to
those of the land in which they dwell and
prosper. He concludes the letter by sug-
costing that if Scotchmen in New York
wish to celebrate something, they should
make demonstration on the Fourth of
July, ''and pray that the day is not far dis
tant when our less favored countrymen at
home shall share with us the blessings of
institutions founded upon the political
equality of the citizen-the day when hered-
itary privilege will be unknown and when
government of the people, by the people,
and forthe people viii be the watchword
of English-speaking men throughout the
world"

Remnants of the carpetbag Era.

An effort is being made TO secure a par
don for Franklin J. Moses, ex-Gov-
ernor of South Carolina, who Is an inmate
of the Massachusetts, penitentiary. It is
claimed that he is broken down mentally
and physically, and that if he is not released
he will die in short time.
The fact should be kept in mind that
Moses was not the kind of Governor that
the people of South Carolina are accustomed
to. He was a scalawag Governor. and reached
the high position he occupied by means of
negro votes and Federal bayonets. He was
no more the choice of the people than was
Bullock, of this State
The carpetbag and scalawag Governors
of Southern States have not, as a rule, had
happy time of it since their descent from
places OF influence and power. They have
had pretty fair share of punishment in
this world for their crimes, and they have
no reason to expect happy time hereafter.
Their negro allies have also, in many in
stances, suffered just punishment for their
miSdeeds,
W. J. Whipper is the leading col
ored man of South Carolina. He is smart
and bad, combination which makes him
very undesirable part Of any community.
For a number of years he has been Probate
Judge of Beaufort county. He does not
occupy the bench now. He is in Jail. The
charge under which he rests is that of
defrauding orphans committed to the care
of his court. 1t seems a little remarkable
that his friend, the colored ex- Congressman,
Small, should have caused him this trouble,
but such, it seems, is the case.
There are three South Carolina Republi-
cans of the reconstruction period who
can be accounted for at once.
They are ex-Gov. Scott, who is now in
Ohio and who killed a man soon after
he returned there; ex-Gov. Moses, who
is in the Massachusetts, penitentiary, and
Judge Whipper, who is in the Beaufort Is.
c. Jail. Their present positions are very
different and not quite so desirable as were
the positions they occupied when carpet
baggers and scalawags held the Southern
States in their grasp.
